Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Mycoplasma ovis strain Michigan. Its single circular chromosome has 702,511 bp and contains 2 copies of the 16S rRNA gene, one corresponding to M. ovis and the other to "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemovis." All housekeeping genes and the 5S-23S rRNA genes are present in single copies.
